Painting party

We finally had a painting party at our house...well, at least downstairs at our house. Dad, Mom, Mike, Holly, and Carter all came over to help add some color. Thank you all so much for helping! It looks great!

More nice days are here!!

We are going out on a limb and saying that SPRING is here.....at least they are telling us it will be in the low 80's sometime next week! We are all ready for the nice days ahead. Now for some more "Carter pictures"......

All smiles.......

They said "walk" again, that's why I am standing by the door!


"Curly" should be my name after a bath!

Helping Grandpa drive the golf cart....

Snuggling with Grandma....

More days with Grandma and Grandpa.....

Carter spent a couple more days with Grandpa and Grandma so, of course, we had to take some pictures......AGAIN! We had a couple of really nice days for outside activities - walking, golf cart riding, and watching the ducks in the pond!

Did someone say walk??????

Waiting by the door......

Carter loves to go for a ride in the golf cart.....we've created a monster!

Watching people drive by at the duck pond!


Grandpa and Carter in the cart....ignoring the camera because he's trying to drive!

Carter has spent a few days with Grandma and Grandpa so, of course, we had to take some pictures!!

Happy Anniversary to Jeff and Allison!!

This year went so fast! Dad and I wish you more happiness in the coming year! You two are so good for each other!

More in the neighborhood

Just a couple recent pics of some blooming flowers, along with the mysterious ice cream truck...who was actually stopped for someone for once...

A Beautiful Day for a Walk!

Finally some days filled with sunshine!!! We are ready for more just like this one. Grandpa, Grandma and Carter went for a walk this morning and enjoyed the beautiful day!

Carter and Grandpa coming in from the walk...

Carter's "fuzzy hair" after taking off the hat!

What a ham.......

Sunday afternoon

We all went over to Dad and Mom's today to have a short, early birthday celebration for Mom (I won't tell her Happy Birthday until tomorrow!), so I snapped a few pictures.

A Gross Family Christmas

Thankfully, Dad has been back home for a little over a week and getting better each day. We decided to have our Gross Family Christmas (and celebrate Allison's birthday) at Dad and Mom's this afternoon, and below are some pictures from earlier today.

Playground in the park

Allison and I obviously like to walk around Cooper Commons when the weather is nice. This is from last weekend when we stopped for a bit to hang out at one of several parks in the neighborhood.
